“The general prohibition sign, also known informally as the no symbol….”

Someone brought me three lemon cucumbers today. They don’t taste lemony, I was told.
Good with hummus.
BLOOM at the Children’s Museum
What a fun time we had at the Children’s Museum Pittsburgh on a perfect summer Thursday evening. Artwork, live music, refreshments, vendors. Good friends. We even had our pictures taken by a professional in the lower floor.
“BLOOM is an event to create an open space for the artist community, including the museum staff and visitors, to let their creativity blossom. This event will include a variety of ways to appreciate and engage with local artists and their work + art-making opportunities for guests to explore their own creativity.”

Kate Gould Memorial Park “almost 2.5-acre park, donated to the town in 1930 by Kate Gould – a librarian at the Eldredge Public Library”–
Kate Gould Memorial Park in the center of Chatham Massachusetts “Some 70 whales, or facsimiles thereof, occupied Kate Gould Park last Thursday. But these cetaceans weren’t protesting; they were the main attraction of the annual Art in the Park exhibit, sponsored by the Chatham Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association.”

A Shout Out
Meet Andrea Panzica, owner of 614 Knit Studio in Clintonville, Columbus, Ohio. Here she helps me show off my finished object. She had helped me choose yarns for the Westknits Mystery Knit Along when I was visiting the family in October 2022. The yarn is Ansel fingering weight Jill Draper Makes Stuff yarn. I wanted to show Andrea the yarn knit up into the shawl from the yarn she’d helped me select. You might remember Andrea from the Great Lakes Fiber Festival post.
I frogged the start of Twists and Turns and knit Stephen West’s design Vertices Unite instead.
Here Andrea sporting her Stephen West Shawl MKAL from 2020 Slipstravaganza when I was choosing yarn last fall.
